Salem 66
Salem 66 was a jangly indie rock duo hailing from Boston’s vibrant 1980s underground scene. Formed in 1984 by guitarist-vocalists Beth Kaplan and Judy Grunwald, the band blended raw, melodic guitar work with introspective lyrics and a DIY spirit. Known for their harmonious vocal trade-offs and scrappy energy, they became staples of college radio, releasing albums like *A Ripping Spin* and *The Well* on Homestead Records (home to contemporaries like Dinosaur Jr.). Their sound—a mix of earnest folk-punk and post-Velvets charm—earned them cult status, and they toured tirelessly, sharing bills with acts like Pixies and Throwing Muses before disbanding in 1991. Though short-lived, Salem 66 left a sweet, scrappy mark on the indie landscape.
